you really really shouldn't. it's a pretty stupid thing to do. not only is it extremely bad for the environment, but you can sell them to a laptop recycler for as much as 75% of its value (the new laptops have standard about $90 batteries). for an old, barely functoinal battery, you should be able to get anywhere from 5-10% of its original value if you do a little looking. if you still want to be stupid and throw it away anyways or if you live in the middle of a desert and can't recycle it, i suggest you put the battery in a ton of plastic Publix bags or something at least. places like Office Depot, Best Buy, Radioshack, etc. usually recycle. typically, if they sell various rechargable battery types, they recycle.

How do you replace HP Compaq NC6000 battery?

Close the laptop. Turn it upside down the front facing you. There should be two sliding switches. The left one with the rectangular icon etched near it is for releasing the battery. Slide the switch and hold it. The battery is located in the lower left part of the laptop. While you are holding the switch, slide the battery sideways away from the laptop. When inserting the battery just slide it in until you hear a click. If the battery is inncorectly orientated it won't fit in the slot.
